I agree that coach A would be livid. However, several people - including coach A and all of Team A's players - could have recognized that the jumpers were lined up the wrong way.

I don't know it there is anything the U can do if the R won't change his/her mind. (We always keep our rule books in the locker room, but they don't usually do us much good there except to discuss what we might have done right or wrong earlier in the game.)

Suppose Coach A produced a rule book and a case book play, would the R have looked at it? Would most officials look at the rule book or just go by what they know to be true? I would look at it and hope to resolve it quickly.
